Chapter 159 – Young Star and Passer-by Fatty
In fact, such a commotion wasn’t uncommon. Every year, Jiangcheng Media University has a number of famous stars admitted. There was one such in the morning, which was even bigger than this scene. At that time, it was a young actress who acted in several TV series. The boys were all like bees that has its nest been poked. They swarmed up to watch!
But it was a bit confusing for this handsome boy. It was as if no one has ever seen him before. Although he was quite handsome, his hairstyle was done according to the standard of stars, and his delicate skin and tender flesh were very attractive to girls in this era.
“Who is that?” Ding Xiang couldn’t help asking.
“I don’t know. I haven’t seen him.” A female student next to her also shook her head. “but he’s pretty handsome!”
Guo Ziyi had just finished signing his name. He raised his head and took a look at the boy who was reporting. He pouted without really showing it in his face1It’s like he didn’t have good impression on him but he didn’t show it. I think.. He had seen this person before. He was in the first group in the skill assessment test, but his acting skills were really poor. He was kind of skillful at having facial paralysis2There was no change in his facial expression when acting. In other words, he is someone who wants to be an actor but only has a pretty boy face.. He came and went with a cool expression.
At this moment, a female student ran back excitedly. She had just gone to join in the fun: “I know who he is, Tang Kaitai!”
“Who is Tang Kaitai?” Some people were still confused.
“Tang Kaitai is a former child star! However, his father is more important. He is now the great leader of Xiangnan TV station. When Tang Kaitai was a child, he brought him to the children’s programs in their station. Later, he also made some TV series one after another. In recent years, he went abroad for further study. After that, there was no news about him.”
“Oh, it turns out to be a good baby3It could also be “good embryo”. Either way, no idea what it means. Maybe born in a good/rich family?!” A male student could not help but say sourly.
“Tang Kaitai himself worked very hard, okay? When he was a child, he made a lot of films. I watched him grow up!” The female said “shamelessly”.
“puff, are you older than others?” Her companion exposed mercilessly.
It turns out that he has a powerful backer! No wonder even though his acting skills were so poor, he could still be admitted! Guo Zi was silent.
If it was the previous him, he would have complained openly about the other party, and then took out his number one pick score to prove that he was the one who should be admitted to the College of Film. However, now Guo Ziyi has experienced trying to make a living in Beijing for a period of time and has matured a lot. Although he was upset in his heart, he didn’t say it.
There were no setbacks in the base camp. After reporting, Guo Ziyi took some materials handed over by his senior brothers and sisters and went to the dormitory building. Ding Xiang was still the one to deliver him and still carried his luggage.
“This is so embarrassing! Senior sister, I actually know the way here. I’ve been to Jiangcheng Media several times before, so just let me go by myself!” Guo Ziyi really felt sorry to let a girl carry his bag. He was going to grab his duffel bag while dragging his suitcase.
“You can’t carry it by yourself. The dormitory building is still far away!” Ding Xiang didn’t give it.
Guo Ziyi almost tripped over his own foot, but Ding Xiang had quick eyes and hands, and lent a hand to support him.
Guo Ziyi didn’t expect that Ding Xiang was so strong. Her left hand steadily held him, who was over 170 jin. He staggered awkwardly for a few steps before he stood still.
“You see, let me carry it for you!” Ding Xiang said with a smile.
Guo Ziyi was little ashamed that he wanted to find a hole and drill himself into it, but he had no choice but to accept Ding Xiang’s arrangement.
…….
In Beijing, Director Chen Fengchen, who got the copyright, was in no hurry to hold a press conference.
He was still busy shooting a historical drama. Although it was almost in its final stages, each project should be done right from the beginning to the end. For shooting and post-production, Chen Fengchen still needed to be busy for a few months!
Of course, he didn’t completely put aside the two works. Chen Fengchen found his own screenwriter and asked him to help change the original work into a screenplay.
At the same time, Chen Fengchen has begun to look for suitable actors through various relationships. Even if Yang Yi didn’t require it, Chen Fengchen, who likes to strive for perfection, would choose the actors who best match the character and characteristics of his film.
All this was being carried out in full swing.
Chen Fengchen wasn’t at all like an old man in his 60s. He was full of spirit and devoted to all kinds of work.
…….
In Jiangcheng, Tianmei’s headquarters, Mo Fei brought Mo Xiaojuan with her and knocked on Sister Ling’s door.
“Mo Fei? You’re back? How was your holiday?” Niu Meiling was still smiling, and there was another person sitting in her office.
Jian Chao! Zhen Muqian’s agent!
Mo Xiaojuan made eye contact with the other person, full of gunpowder.
“Sister Ling, everything is fine.” Mo Fei smiled slightly at Niu Meiling and said, “By the way, Sister Ling, I have something to tell you.”
As before, Mo Fei didn’t like the smalltalk.
“Sister Ling, shall I go out first?” Jian Chao pushed aside her chair and made a gesture of standing up.
“It doesn’t matter. Jian Chao is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, just say it directly.” Niu Meiling said with a smile.
Mo Fei didn’t sense anything yet, but Mo Xiaojuan frowned slightly. She noticed that Sister Ling’s attitude towards Mo Fei had become different.
But now wasn’t the time to entangle with this problem. Mo Xiaojuan opened the folder in her hand and said to Niu Meiling, “Sister Ling, you said that if we prepared 12 songs, we will start preparing a new album for our Mo Fei.”
“That’s right. Are these?” Niu Meiling looked at Mo Fei and Mo Xiaojuan with a slight surprise.
Mo Xiaojuan smiled faintly. She took a piece of paper out of the folder and pushed it to Niu Meiling, and said, “Now that we have prepared 12 songs, we will trouble Sister Ling to tell everybody at tomorrow’s meeting that Mo Fei’s new album will be on the agenda.”
“Twelve songs are all here?” This exclamation came from Jian Chao. She looked at Mo Xiaojuan in disbelief.
“That’s right!” Mo Xiaojuan smiled charmingly at the other party.
In Jian Chao’s eyes, Mo Xiaojuan’s smile was full of malice. She was very unhappy, so she said sourly, “You have collected 12 songs in such a short time, who knows if you found them casually in the song library of the Copyright Association. Sister Ling, if they are all bad songs, such an album might as well not be released!”
Niu Meiling didn’t move. She just looked at Mo Xiaojuan.
“We didn’t just put together 12 songs!” Mo Xiaojuan said proudly, “Sister Ling, in the song list I gave you, it contains the name of the songwriter.”
Niu Meiling frowned and glanced down. It was all “Mu Li’ang”.
“Mu Li’ang?” Niu Meiling didn’t realize it yet.
“Mu Li’ang? That Mu Li’ang? ” Jian Chao’s face changed color. “Mu Li’ang, who wrote two songs for Chen Yijie?”
“Hehe, that’s right!” Mo Xiaojuan raised her head and said proudly, “Mu Li’ang is a fan of Sister Fei. He wrote 12 songs for Sister Fei in one go, and each of them is a fine work!”
“Xiaojuan!” Mo Fei felt that what Mo Xiaojuan said was a little too conceited, and reprimanded her aloud.
Nevertheless, looking at Mo Xiaojuan’s proud appearance just now, Niu Meiling and Jian Chao both knew that what she said was true.
“Sister Ling, as you know, I always take music very seriously.” Mo Fei looked at Niu Meiling and said sincerely, “thanks to the help of the excellent creator Mu Li’ang, the quality of the 12 songs is not poor. I believe you won’t be disappointed after this album is released!”
Niu Meiling smiled reluctantly and said, “Okay, Mo Fei, have you recorded a demo?”
“Yes!” Mo Xiaojuan was already prepared. She took out a CD and handed it to her.
“Why don’t you go back first, I’ll listen to the music, and I’ll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?” Niu Meiling said kindly.
